How do i save games to my memory card? it doesn't give me the option when i start installing it just saves the stuff to the phone. not sure if i can manually move it, i will try that next, but it's a pain

That's strange, I always get asked whether I want to install to Device or Memory card.
I take it your memory card is working ok. Are you installing cab files from your card or installing via pc?

Not if it's a .cab file, they are designed to be installed the way you are doing it.
They must be cab files otherwise you would not be able to install them from your phone, so sounds like you are doing everything right. Your memory card is obviously working ok as it can be read and written on.
I've had a look round and can't see any reason for it, so I'm out of ideas.

Sorry, I haven't got a clue when it comes to Java. I'm sure I've seen a thread for installing Java apps somewhere on the forum though.
